Wang Xiaoqiang did not adopt any of Simon's suggestions.
The reason was simple: Tanimoto Ichiro's failure to successfully manage the Yesang Ranch was not due to incorrect business concepts and models, but rather due to insufficient conditions, conditions such as the right timing, location advantages, and human harmony—all of which Wang Xiaoqiang fully possessed.
Wasn't Kobe beef ill-suited to the Australian climate? Well, Wang Xiaoqiang's Spiritual Energy could completely compensate for this shortcoming. Was Tanimoto Ichiro not well-received locally? Fine, with the support of the James Clan, the dark power of the Mafia, and his own Superpower to rely on, what was there to fear?
Undercut prices?
Alright then, focus on expanding and increasing the Kobe beef's numbers first. If others want to drive down the prices, let them do it; start by winning with quantity, and then, after capturing the market, raise the prices. With such high-quality beef, would there be any fear of not being able to sell it at a good price?
Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was not adopting his advice, Simon shook his head, sighed with resignation, and was about to silently walk away when, at that moment, two people arrived at the ranch—strangers to Wang Xiaoqiang.
But Simon recognized them.
Simon quietly informed Wang Xiaoqiang, "These are Ronaldo, the Ranch Owner from the nearby Xia Ranch, and his assistant. This guy Ronaldo has long wanted to breed Kobe beef but has never succeeded. His visit this time must also be for Kobe beef... If you really don't want to let him breed it, just be cautious..."
Wang Xiaoqiang nodded and went to greet them.
"Dear Mr. Wang, welcome to taking over the Yesang Ranch. I'm truly delighted that the ranch has a new owner..." Upon meeting, Ronaldo reached out both arms for a hug with Wang Xiaoqiang, but Wang coldly avoided it.
At this, Ronaldo showed a slight displeasure, shooting Wang Xiaoqiang an irritated glance and said, "Mr. Wang, look, my ranch is just to the east. From now on, we'll be neighbors, and I hope we can live in harmony..."
"I hope so too," replied Wang Xiaoqiang in an indifferent tone.
"Err, Mr. Wang, won't you invite me upstairs for a drink?" Ronaldo gestured toward the villa.
The Yesang Ranch villa was now Wang Xiaoqiang's, where he lived with his servant trio—Chiba Keiko and Miyazaki Yuki.
Wang Xiaoqiang did not want this big-nosed fellow to go up to the villa, but he also didn't refuse, saying, "Err, no problem, please..."
Simon glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang with concern and walked away quietly; he was a bit regretful that he hadn't warned Wang Xiaoqiang that Ronaldo was a lecher and to be wary of him.
After sending his assistant back, Ronaldo followed Wang Xiaoqiang into the villa, where his eyes roved curiously around, lighting up like bulbs when he saw the two stunningly beautiful women.
Up and down, down and up, Ronaldo scrutinized Chiba Keiko and Miyazaki Yuki with lecherous eyes, and then, with a smile spreading on his face, extended his hand to Keiko. "Err, simply amazing, to have such beautiful women in the world...aha, Mr. Wang, you are indeed lucky with ladies..."
Chiba Keiko frowned slightly, but still shook hands with Ronaldo; she quickly withdrew her hand afterward.
After a brief awkward moment, Ronaldo reached out to Miyazaki Yuki, staring at her with a lecherous gaze.
Although Miyazaki Yuki also despised Ronaldo, she shook hands with him out of politeness. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Ronaldo played dirty and refused to let go, staring intensely at her with brazen desire gleaming in his eyes.
Miyazaki Yuki's hand was held captive, causing her to bristle, and with widened eyes, she immediately applied more pressure...
Ah! Hiss~~
Ronaldo humiliated himself, letting out a cry of pain from Miyazaki Yuki's powerful grip as he hissed like he had swallowed chili water, trying to pull his hand free. But Miyazaki Yuki didn't let go.
Ronaldo was forced to give a pleading look, saying, "My dear, you're too passionate; I can't quite handle you..."
Miyazaki Yuki harrumphed softly before finally releasing Ronaldo's hand.
Ronaldo gave a weak smile, and the man in his forties glanced once more at Miyazaki Yuki before reluctantly shifting his gaze away from her.
Although he despised Ronaldo, out of politeness, Wang Xiaoqiang still had Chiba Keiko bring over two glasses of wine.
As Ronaldo took the red wine from Keiko's hands, he gulped a big mouthful of wine and sloppily sat down on the sofa, saying, "Mr. Wang, I've come today to talk about a partnership. I want to breed your ranch's Kobe beef. I hope you won't turn me down..."
"Sorry," Wang Xiaoqiang directly refused, "Kobe Beef will not be sold for breeding to anyone."
"No way!" Ronaldo hadn't expected Wang Xiaoqiang to be as stubborn as Tanimoto Ichiro, and couldn't help feeling a bit resentful as he said, "Mr. Wang, I won't disappoint you with the price..."
"No matter how high the price, I won't sell... but of course, if you want beef, I can give you a discount..." Wang Xiaoqiang said, spreading his hands.
"I bid you farewell!"
Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was so resolute, Ronaldo realized it was useless to say more. He glared at him for a while, then abruptly stood up and walked out.
After Ronaldo had left, Chiba Keiko said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Master, Kobe Beef is a unique breed. If managed well, it could sell for a lot of money. It's best not to let others breed it..."
"Mm, your thoughts coincide with mine. I'm going to make Japan's Kobe Beef prosper in Australia and dominate the Australian beef market..."
Wang Xiaoqiang spoke calmly, but his tone was filled with confidence.
In the following days, Wang Xiaoqiang began to put Yesang Ranch in order. What he called putting in order was actually holding meetings for the ranch workers and nourishing the Kobe Beef at the ranch with Spiritual Energy.
When Wang Xiaoqiang was holding a meeting with the workers, he mentioned wages. Right then, a worker pointed out that the previous owner, Tanimoto Ichiro, often delayed paying wages. Some also complained about the low pay.
Wang Xiaoqiang assured them, "Wages will increase from this month onwards, and will be settled monthly without delay..."
"Boss, are your words reliable?" a young worker questioned, "The previous Mr. Tanimoto often broke his promises and deceived us..."
Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "Well then, it just happens to be the start of the month. I'll prepay this month's wages..."
Before Wang Xiaoqiang had even finished speaking, the workers' faces showed surprise. They looked at each other and began whispering excitedly amongst themselves.
Wang Xiaoqiang gave them time to settle their emotions. After awhile, when everyone had calmed down, he said, "So everyone should believe me now, right? However, once I've paid out the wages, I expect everyone to work hard. Those who do well will be rewarded, while those who slack off or just scrape by, I won't hesitate to fire..."
After Wang Xiaoqiang finished speaking, the workers buzzed with conversation again. However, there was no worry on their faces. Now that they had encountered a trustworthy and generous boss, they had no reason not to work hard.
However, someone soon raised a doubt, "Boss, what if the ranch isn't profitable and you can't afford to pay the wages?"
Wang Xiaoqiang laughed and pointed at the worker, "You've raised a very good question. Currently, the ranch isn't doing well, but that's the result of Tanimoto Ichiro's poor management. Since I've taken over Yesang Ranch, I'm determined to revitalize and develop it greatly. As for the wages, even if I lose money, I will still pay everyone on time. For those doubting my financial power, I hope you'll check the newspapers to see who is now the Vegetable King of the United States..."
Before Wang Xiaoqiang could finish, a worker recognized him and immediately exclaimed in a low voice, "Yikes, he's the Vegetable King of the United States... I've seen his picture in the newspapers!"
"No wonder, I felt like I'd seen him somewhere before, so it really is him..." another person chimed in.
With the discussion, applause suddenly broke out, followed by cheers. At that moment, the workers were all incredibly surprised and pleased. Their new boss turned out to be the Vegetable King of the United States—what was there to worry about? The man could squash you with his wealth!
The workers' concerns were assuaged, and they got down to their work with peace of mind, especially after receiving their wages in advance. Their motivation was many times stronger than before.
The ranch quickly began to display a thriving scene.
After setting everything in order, Wang Xiaoqiang left the management of the ranch to Chiba Keiko and Miyazaki Yuki, while he himself went to visit Jenny's house.
Mr. and Mrs. James were busy dealing with the aftermath of the Clan Leader, so they had no time to entertain Wang Xiaoqiang. This task fell on Jenny.
Jenny eagerly wished for Wang Xiaoqiang to visit her. Finally, on the evening he arrived, Jenny prepared a lavish dinner for him, a candlelit meal: kangaroo meat, King Crab, steak, prawns...
When Jenny served all these delicacies to fill Wang Xiaoqiang's belly,
Jenny was wearing a white miniskirt. When she took off her dress, Wang Xiaoqiang found that her skin was even whiter than the color of her skirt,
